History Main / MarySueHunter

* The Epitome of Randomness came up with their own interesting take on the genre. Specifically, a whole organization of children dedicated to the field. Introducing the [[http://m.fanfiction.net/u/1288334 Sue Slayers]]!

* ''Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie'' - [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Kirk]], [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor]], and Series/{{Sherlock}} are attempting to start one. So far they managed to [[EpicFail get Tardis stolen]] and [[NotMeThisTime bagged]] [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Wesley]][[note]]Although it is yet unclear if the last one was a mistake or not.[[/note]] [[spoiler:They fail due to not realizing that their ally Wolverine was a Sue.

* ''[[http://indiemadnesse.sandwich.net/extract/extract.html Self-Extraction]]'' is a story about a BadassNormal former BattleTech Pilot who joined the Agency to stop the intrusion of the Dream Maker, a person who lets people live out their fantasies in other dimensions which have in some way caused trouble. Sues range from [[GodModeSue crushing the toughest folks in]] StreetFighter, [[SugarApocalypse attempting to kill]] [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney the Dinosaur]], and [[EldritchAbomination becoming an all-powerful demon god just because the person wants to create a CrapsackWorld with several worlds completely empty]].

The hunter will use a definition of MarySue most often based on CommonMarySueTraits, or perhaps just select {{Original Character}}s who really annoy her. The OriginalCharacter (or more rarely, a [[PossessionSue retrofit a canon character]]) will kill, maim, injure, arrest, expose, discredit, "purify", or otherwise remove another OriginalCharacter and their influence from an established canon. Think RevengeFic, but for MarySue.

While some works with this sort of character are revered, random examples of this genre are not as accepted as normal {{MST}}s. Writers are expected to ask permission to {{MST}} another fanfic. Mary Sue Hunters will at best humiliate, and more likely kill and humiliate, the Mary Sues hunted; it's hard to get permission for ''that,'' and there is expected to be honor amongst fanfic writers. Thus, these stories tend to get banned from most regular fanfic communities.

The big problem with this sort of character and this sort of fanfic is HeWhoFightsMonsters. The most well known kinds of Mary Sues are the ones who [[BlackHoleSue warp the reality of their 'verses]] to the author's own liking. As Mary Sue Hunters exist solely to kill perceived Mary Sues and thus [[{{Hypocrite}} change the world of that "verse" to the author's liking]] they are by definition a [[TakesOneToKillOne type of sue]]. Also, not all authors can reliably tell if an OriginalCharacter is a Mary Sue, but Hunters are almost always presumed to be able to tell -- they don't generally say "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" So statistically, they are slightly more likely to be a Mary Sue than an OC without an agenda. Some works in this genre, inc. the TropeCodifier, have recognized this. In spite of this, entertaining sue hunters, or ones that target hated fanfics can gain fans who like the FixFic aspect of these stories. Badly written ones however aren't any better than your typical GodModeSue RevengeFic story and may even [[CycleOfRevenge become targets of]] Mary Sue Hunter stories themselves.

%%* In ''Naruto Veangance Revelaitons'', an ending that the author's former stepbrother wrote has [[EnsembleDarkhorse Edfred]] and his boyfriend Muskoka restore the cast to normal, enabling them to kill the hated main character, who easily fell into ''several'' Mary Sue categories.

* The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has a somewhat unique, dead serious example with the [[ClockRoaches Blank Wolf]].

The big problem with this sort of character and this sort of sport is HeWhoFightsMonsters. The kinds of Mary Sues that most need hunting are the ones who [[BlackHoleSue warp the reality of their 'verses]] to resist it. The more Mary Sues your Mary Sue Hunter can successfully take down, and the easier the takedowns, the more likely her name could land on some other Mary Sue Hunter's list. Also, not all authors or Hunters can reliably tell if an OriginalCharacter is a Mary Sue, but Hunters are almost always presumed to be able to tell -- they don't generally say "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" So statistically, they are slightly more likely to be a Mary Sue than an OC without an agenda.

* In the MaiHime fic, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8530650/1/Perfection-is-Overrated Perfection is Overrated]]'', the main cast goes up against a group of foes called [=SUEs=], who represent typical Mary Sue types, with powers symbolic of the Mary Sues' impact on the plot, such as a [[TheFundamentalist fundamentalist Christian]] with [[AntiMagic the ability to reduce the effectiveness of her enemies' powers]]. Miyu [[NiceJobFixingItVillain accidentally]] becomes one by killing Akane's Child and resulting in the death of Mariko, whose powers made her extremely popular on campus and enabled her to become Akane's most important person instead of Kazuya.

* ''LynchingITP'' is a set of PlayByPostGames which combine this with MegaCrossover, usually directed at the worlds of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' or ''TheInheritanceCycle'', though it has a tendency to turn into an UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny with the Sues in the background.

* Similarly, the ''{{Anti Cliche and Mary Sue Elimination Society}}'', ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Thus, the name]]) also in its own shared universe but in a much smaller shell. The Society goes up against [[ParodySue mostly Parody Sues and Stus]], except some authors will choose to use [[OldShame their own former Sues]]. However, some of the Agents are almost a hop, skip, and a jump from being Sues themselves, and they're only protected by the mighty power of LampshadeHanging (and being mostly crazy).
